What is Cremation, and Why is it Becoming the New Normal?

Cremation is a dignified and eco-friendly alternative to traditional burial methods. It's a process that reduces the body to its basic elements, leaving behind a small amount of ash, which can be memorialized in various ways. As the world becomes more environmentally conscious, cremation is increasingly seen as a responsible choice, with over 50% of Americans now opting for cremation over traditional burial.

At Lind Family Funeral & Cremation Services, we understand that every individual is unique, and their farewell should reflect that. Our cremation services are designed to be flexible, allowing you to create a personalized tribute that honors your loved one's spirit, while also respecting the environment.
